The past year or so has taken the spotlight off worms and viruses. Security holes are now being exploited by hackers and we’ve seen a whole bunch of hacking incidents in the past year. 2012 looks like it’ll be no different, considering the number of hacking incidents that have made the news. The latest target seems to be Intel, the popular microprocessor manufacturer. The Hacker News has a story that mentions that a hacker, going by the alias ‘WeedGrower’ or ‘X-pOSed’ has managed to gain access to Intel’s data. Apparently, user details, such as credit card information, social security numbers, e-mails, passwords and many other details have been compromised.
